Terriyaki Shish Kabobs

Shish Kabob anyone?
So I have been working on these shish kabobs for a while and I think I have got it right. The marinade is very good and really soaks in and flavors the meat nicely.

Terriyaki Shish Kabobs
½ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cloves garlic smashed
½ tsp black pepper
1 lb round steak/cubed

In a pie plate, combine all ingredients but the steak and stir well to combine. Toss the steak in the marinade and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1-5 hours. Remove from refrigerator and put on skewers and grill on high heat for 10 minutes on first side and 5 minutes on second side. Longer if you have thicker pieces of meat.

Serve with rice and side of your choice.

Green Beans with Mushrooms

A yummy side to cook along with the shish kabobs on the grill!

1 lb green beans, snapped and to your size preference
5 large crimini mushrooms, cut into bite size wedges

2 Tbs butter

1/2 tsp herb de provence (basil will work as well)

salt and pepper to taste

1 Tbs balsamic vinegar

Combine all ingredients on a large section of foil and bundle up tightly. Put on the grill when you start the meat and by the time the meat is cooked the beans should be just tender and mushrooms steamed to perfection. This would also work in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes or so.
